The New York Times published an article over the weekend laying out a new original story for the FBI’s investigation into possible Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government.
The infamous Steele dossier was not the catalyst for the investigation, according to four unnamed government officials who spoke to The Times. Rather, a drunken barroom conversation that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had with an Australian diplomat in London in May 2016 was what led to the FBI probe.
Democrats and liberal pundits touted the story, which they said showed that Republicans have been overly focused on the dossier’s significance to the Russia investigation.
But some congressional Republicans, conservative pundits and a former Trump campaign adviser who has been interviewed extensively by Russia investigators aren’t buying the new spin.
